Bilstien Shock differences (Inc Grp-2s)

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

Hmm, JG's post on all the ur-q stuff he (Might) be getting rid of someday
got me to thinking.  I need bilstiens for my 4kq project soon.  I've
decided on Bilstiens for sure as eventualy the car will be a rally
car.  Here is my problem is deciding which ones to get.
	1) sports
	2) Heavy Duty's
	3) Group 2's.  
	So, why the problem.  Well, when Rallying as a Co-driver in a
5ktq, we ran HD's as the local Rep told us that the HD and Sports had the
same valving for stiffness but that the Sport simply had a shorter stroke
so the HD was the logical choice.  (unless we got Group 2's)  But lately
on the list I've seen quite a few posts with people preferring the "softer
HD's" or wanting the "harder" Sports.  Whats up, misinformed listers or
misinformed Bilstien Rep???  I owuld hope the former as I usually believe
I can trust a Rep.  
	Last question, anyone have any info on the Group 2's that rally's
a quattro???  How much did you pay, how much stiffer are they than the
noraml bilstiens, etc...
	Sports and HD's seem to run around $120 each.  Give or take a
little.  If Group 2's are only like $150 I'd love to give them a try if
they aren't ROCK hard but if they are like $250 then I'll likely just use
the cheaper models for a while.  
	Thanks
